I'm so sorry I vanished last week guys! Things were kinda blah last week. I hope this chapter will make up for my absence.

Italics are dreams.

"Are we there yet? I'm hungry? Where's the Chairman? When's Ichi-nichan coming back?"

Aidou sighed. "If you don't stop asking questions, I'm going to drop you."

Senna frowned from her perch on Aidou's back. "That wouldn't be very nice. Ichi-nichan would hurt you if you did." She glanced up and grinned. "Look, it's Yuki-neechan!"

Yuki looked up when she heard her name being called. She smiled as she watched Senna climb off of Aidou's back and run over to her. Yuki knelt down and opened her arms up for Senna to run into. She hugged the young vampire tightly. "What are you doing here, Senna-chan?"

Senna grinned. "Aidou-nichan wanted to see the Chairman but we can't find him anywhere!"

Aidou nonchalantly walked over. "Do you know where he is?"

Yuki released Senna from her embrace and stood up, holding Senna's hand in hers. "What are you doing out of the dorm?"

Aidou grinned. "I'm running away from the dorm and I was looking for the Chairman."

Yuki blinked and looked down at Senna. "Why are you with him, Senna-chan?"

Senna looked down at the ground, laughing sheepishly. "I just didn't want to be alone."

"You two aren't supposed to be here."

"Zero-nichan!" Senna let go of Yuki's hand and ran over to Zero, hugging him tightly. "I've missed you!"

Zero sighed and picked her up. "You two need to go back to the dorm now."

Aidou frowned. "I don't want to go back." He then began to pout like a small child. "I absolutely refuse!" With that, he turned on his heels and ran away.

"Get back here!" Zero yelled. He put Senna down and began chasing after the fleeing Aidou.

Yuki smiled and took Senna's hand back in hers. She began leading Senna in the same direction that Zero and Aidou had run off in. "So, why didn't you want to be alone, Senna-chan?"

Senna averted her gaze to the ground. "I just don't really like being alone. It scares me."

Yuki decided not to press Senna further. Instead, she picked the small girl up and placed her on her shoulders, holding one of Senna's hands in each of hers. "Let's hurry up and catch Aidou-senpai and Zero."

Senna smiled and laughed as Yuki ran to catch up with the boys. As soon as Yuki put her on the ground, Senna ran over to Zero and held his hand tightly. She hummed happily as Zero and Yuki led her and Aidou to the Chairman's office.

Once they were inside, Zero glared at Aidou. "Don't ever make me run for something so stupid again."

Senna plopped down on the couch beside Aidou and swung her legs, taking in her surroundings. She sighed and leaned against Aidou's side. "I'm hungry."

Aidou nodded his head and looked casually over at Yuki. "You should make your guests something to eat."

Yuki looked warily at the two vampires. "What do you want?"

Aidou rolled his eyes. "Regular human food is fine. Hurry up."

"That's not nice, Aidou-nichan!" Senna punched Aidou in his side. "Apologize to Yuki-neechan now!"

Aidou winced. "I'm sorry!"

Senna yawned and curled up on the couch, resting her head in Aidou's lap. She smiled when she felt Aidou running his fingers through her hair. "I'm sleepy."

"Then take a nap." Aidou said softly. "I'll wake you up when the food is ready."

Yuki frowned at Aidou. "Why don't you want to stay in the dorms? Does it have something to do with Senna not wanting to be alone?"

Aidou frowned at Yuki. "You wouldn't understand."

Senna's slowly looked around. There was nothing. Only darkness filled the space around her. Senna began to panic. "Ichi-nichan!? Senri-nichan!? Akatsuki-nichan!? Where is everybody!?"

A deep voice resonated all around her. "I can hardly wait to meet you, my cute little weapon."

For some reason, this voice terrified Senna. She began shaking. "Who are you!? Did you create me!?"

"Yes, I created you. You're going to help me get what I want."

"No, I won't! I refuse to help you!"

The voice laughed. "You don't have much choice. Do you remember the Level E that attacked you? How you blacked out? How when you awoke, he was decapitated? I sent him to confirm you were still functioning properly. When the time comes, you will belong to me again."

"No, I won't! I don't belong to you! I'm not a tool!"

"Wake up, Senna!"

Senna slowly opened her eyes. She was met with three pairs of concerned eyes on her. "Was it just a dream?" She played the dream over in her mind and began crying, not paying attention to who it was that began hugging her.

"You just had a bad dream. Everything is okay." Zero frowned as Senna buried her face in his chest.

"I'm not a tool! I'm not!" Senna cried out. After a few moments, she calmed down. She sighed in content as Zero rocked her back and forth.

"Are you still hungry?" Zero asked quietly.

Before Senna could respond, her stomach growled. She grinned sheepishly up at Zero. "Yeah."

Zero led her over to a small, round table and plopped her down in one of the chairs. "Eat up."

Senna squealed in delight at the sight of all the food. Her nightmare forgotten, she began shoveling food into her mouth before Aidou had even sat down.

"Save some for me!" Aidou shouted.

When all the food was gone, Senna sighed happily. She smiled up at Yuki. "Will you tell Zero-nichan the food was really good?"

Aidou pouted. "I'm still hungry." He watched as Yuki left the room to go into the kitchen. As soon as she left, he turned his gaze to Senna. "What did you dream about?"

Senna's face saddened. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Talking always makes things better."

Senna snorted. "You would know." She pouted when Aidou kicked her under the table. She hesitated before speaking. "There was a voice. He was telling me that I belonged to him, that I was going to have to help him."

Before Aidou could say anything, Yuki walked back into the room. He crossed his arms across his chest. "You took forever! Where's the food?"

Yuki rolled her eyes and placed a small case of blood tablets in front of Aidou. "Eat one of these for right now."

Aidou blinked and picked up the case. "Is this Kiryu's?"

Senna tilted her head to the side. "Why would Zero-nichan need blood tablets?"

Aidou ruffled Senna's hair. "If you can't figure it out then I'm not telling you."

"That's not fair! Why does everyone always keep secrets? Secrets are bad!" Senna huffed and turned away from Aidou, crossing her arms angrily across her chest.

Aidou laughed. "Don't be so angry, Senna-chan. You'll get wrinkles."

Senna jumped down off her chair. "I'm going to go clean up for bed." She walked into the bathroom and slowly washed her hands, not really wanting to go back into the main room. She didn't want to talk about her dream anymore. She looked in the mirror and frowned at her reflection. She turned off the water and walked slowly out of the bathroom, pausing when she heard a crash come from the kitchen.

A strange smell filled Senna's senses. She inhaled deeply and sighed happily. She walked back into the main room to find Aidou lounging on the couch again. "Is Zero-nichan cooking again?"

Aidou sighed and quickly scooped Senna up in his arms. "It's time for us to go back to the dorm."

Senna began struggling. "I want to say bye to Zero-nichan! What was that smell, Aidou-nichan?"

Aidou paused outside of the building. He glanced around and quickly carried Senna behind a tree. He looked around one more time before placing Senna on the ground and kneeling down to her level. "You've never tasted blood before, have you?"

"Is that what that smell was? It smelled good." Senna pouted. "What does blood taste like, Aidou-nichan?"

Aidou sighed wearily. "It's not something that can be described. You have to taste it for yourself."

"Oh…" Senna said quietly. "But we're not supposed to drink blood. Kaname-san said so."

Aidou glanced over his shoulder quickly before bringing his index finger up to his mouth. He pierced his finger, allowing a small amount of blood to dribble out. "I'll let you have a taste if you promise not to tell anyone."

Senna stared at the blood in fascination. She nodded her head at Aidou's request and gently took his hand in her two tiny ones. Slowly, Senna licked the blood off of Aidou's finger, savoring the taste as it slipped down her throat. She pouted when Aidou pulled his hand back.

Aidou grinned down at Senna. "Do you understand now?"

Senna nodded slowly. She bit her lip, feeling like she had just committed a terrible crime. "We're not going to get in trouble, are we, Aidou-nichan?"

Aidou took Senna's hand in his and smiled. "Nah. I just don't think Ichijo would be too happy with me if he knew I let you have some of my blood. He'd probably think I was trying to corrupt you."

Senna walked quietly beside Aidou for a moment. "Are we monsters?"

Aidou looked down at the small girl. "Why would you think that?"

"We drink human blood. Doesn't that make us monsters?"

Aidou picked Senna up and placed her on one of his shoulders. "Do you think Ichijo is a monster?"

Senna quickly shook her head. "No way! Ichi-nichan is too kind to be a monster!"

"There's your answer. Humans kill animals to eat but they're not considered monsters. The only reason our kind are considered monsters is because we are a threat to them. That's why Kaname-sama is trying to change that view of vampires."

"You mean with the blood tablets?"

"Exactly."

"There you are, Senna-chan!" Ichijo was the first to greet the pair as they walked back into the Moon Dorm. He held his arms open and waited for Senna to run into his arms. He enveloped her in a tight hug and picked her up, spinning around with her a few times. "Where did you run off to!? I was worried sick when I came back and nobody knew where you were."

Senna giggled. "Aidou-nichan and I ran away!"

Kaname raised an eyebrow and glanced over at Aidou. "Did you now?"

Aidou began shaking and laughing nervously. He knew he was in for the punishment of his life.

Senna finally got her first taste of blood. Will she ever find out who the owner of the strange voice? Review and all your questions shall be answered.
